Overview
<p>Between July and October more than a million wildebeest cross into the Mara. We stay in a tented camp close to the river crossings, so the best sightings are a short drive away.</p><p>Every vehicle has a pop-up roof and a window seat for each traveller. Our guide has worked the Mara for fifteen seasons.</p>
Highlights
- River crossings during the migration
- Two game drives a day in pop-up roof vehicles
- A boat ride on Lake Naivasha
